AIR CLEANER FILTER
CAUTION:
Do not change the Air Cleaner
Filter Element with the engine running. Take care
not to damage the new filter element when
installing and handling it. Never run the engine
without a Filter Element installed.
The Air Cleaner Element should be changed roughly every 600 hours.
If the generator runs a great deal while the vehicle is traveling down
the road, larger amounts of road dust may clog the filter sooner. If the
unit only runs in a relatively clean environment, filter changes may not
need to be as frequent.
AIR CLEANER
A clogged Filter Element will result in reduced engine and
generator performance. Heavily clogged filters can ultimately fail,
resulting in damage to the engine. “Black smoke” from the
exhaust is a good indicator of a clogged air-cleaner element.
An optional Filter Restriction Indicator can be purchased from Engine
Power Source (P/N: RBX002250) and installed on the Air Cleaner
for engine models ending in “03.” When the filter becomes significantly
restrictive, the indicator “trips”, showing a redline in its site-glass window to
alert you to change the filter.
When changing the Filter Element, use a clean rag to wipe the dust from
the inside of the Air Cleaner body. Squeeze the Vent Valve, (Duck Bill), to
allow any large particles to fall out of the Air Cleaner. Take care to
carefully seat the new element into the body so that it seals properly.
